▪ Optimized for latest mirrorless mounts (Sony1 E, Canon2
RF, Nikon3 Z).
▪ Signature ZEISS Distagon and Sonnar designs are the
baseline to give the best performance and sharpness.
▪ As an apochromat, the chromatic aberrations of the
lens are corrected by lenses made of special glasses
with anomalous partial dispersion. The chromatic
aberrations and coloured artifacts are therefore
limited to minimum, and colours are rendered as in
reality, well-balanced and true to life.
▪ The aspherical lens design ensures consistent
imaging performance across the entire field of focus
as well as sharpness at the edge of the image. The
more complex surface profile of the aspheric lens
reduces the spherical aberration and further optical
aberrations.
▪ The ZEISS T* coating reduces ghosting and flare.
▪ Ten aperture blades for beautiful bokeh.
Manual Focus
▪ In a low-light conditions by manually adjusting the focus one can have
more control over challenging lighting situations and achieve
sharpness exactly where they want
▪ For portraits, especially with a wide aperture
depth of field is very shallow, manual focus allows greater control in
focusing
▪ Otus ML lenses can offer an advantage in controlling the depth of
field
, as the photographer has full control over the focus point By manually focusing on
a specific area in the frame, the photographer
can choose the exact point of focus and control the depth of field
accordingly
▪ Some photographers simply prefer the tactile experience and control
that comes with manual focusing, finding it more engaging and
satisfying
▪ Photographers may want to focus on specific elements within a scene for artistic reasons , such as achieving a shallow depth of field or isolating a subject
▪ Photographers appreciate the slower, more deliberate pace that
manual focus allows to find joy in the craft itself
